The Art of Disappointing People

Dec 14, 2021

“I can’t disappoint people - I just have a big heart” - Do you? Or are you really just avoiding the emotion that comes up when your actions don’t match someone else’s expectation?

Disappointing people is simply a name we give to the experience of making choices that don’t match OTHER people's expectations.  There are a lot of times when taking the value aligned action that defines showing up authentically is to everyone’s benefit.  Especially when it is the only way to pursue the mission that God has charged us to steward.

 

So how do you foster the art of disappointing people?

  1. Know your values - answer the tough questions
  2. Check in with yourself before, during, and after
  3. Build your capacity to feel what comes up
